Good stuff! Thanks! I have the P&D GP38 cab glazing on my list, but was waiting for the Atlas GP15 cab glazing to show up first. The Atlas glazing has the wiper detail molded onto the panes, so I'm thinking about adding some separate wipers to the P&D windows instead of using the GP15 windows.
Atlas parts were sent to the wrong zip code, so hoping USPS figures it out. In the meantime I ordered some stuff from Des Plaines Hobbies: a replacement axle gear (one of mine is cracked), GP/SD38-2 fan hatch and radiator screens, and fuel tank filler and gauge details. The Weaver radiator grilles were bugging me. They extend too far and should only cover the rear four doors, about halfway over the 5th door from the rear. In the first photo, you can see that they extend over 5 1/2 doors, a door too far. I also removed the fans since they were centered on the grilles and were too far apart. We'll see if the Atlas SD40 fans on the way will work. The brake cover will use the Weaver square blower box and a section from an Atlas non-DB GP15 cover. The width of the Weaver GP38-2 and Atlas GP15-1 shells seems dead on.
The Des Plaines grilles are the corrugated style, so I'm changing the model to #2254, one of the (52) former Rock Island Phase 1c GP38-2s that Mopac bought after The Rock went under:

These had corrugated grilles, square blower housings, cab vent on the engineer side, and old-style EMD square font on the number boards.
Thanks again for the tips and info!
